the simple fact is that:
a) you don't know the validity of the quote
b) you don't know the context
all you people who are so quick to call the man names are nothing better than a bunch of gossiping school girls. face the truth, 2pac DID exploit an element of negativity in hip hop. he was on death row for christ sake. isn't the duality of 2pac (gangster rap / positive rap) why we like him so much and what sets him apart from two bit thug rappers like 50 or game?
sorry, but even if the quote isn't legit, i partially agree with the idea he was trying to express. the man's free to express his opinion without a bunch of net clowns who haven't done shit for hip hop jumping all on his sack.
